Some of you may have noticed that on Monday the latest update to Time Vault was released. This update brings the anticipated Invoice Creation feature for everyone. Invoice Creation will allow users to create a customized invoice based upon the selected Log Book that can be sent out to your clients or businesses. Users can specify to and from addresses, which can be saved for later usage as well, as well as they can specify which milestones are used from the Log Book. Once an invoice is generated users can either retrieve them from the iTunes application data sharing tab or they can e-mail the invoices directly to their destinations. Currently invoices are created as PDF files.

We will continue to be updating this as well as all features of Time Vault but we welcome your feedback and suggestions.

Just a quick update on the current state of Time Vault and where we are planning on taking it in the short term. We would like to thank our users for sticking with us through a some what rocky few updates. Stability and reliability are very important to us so we would like our users to freely contact us with any issues that they encounter, as well as being sure to synch with iTunes regularly to submit any crash reports to Apple.

We are currently in the finishing stages of the next content update which will bring the initial Invoice creation options. Users will be able to generate an invoice for their logbook and either save it to iTunes or e-mail it to themselves. We anticipate that it should be approved before the end of the month.

In addition, we are looking into cloud storage options that will allow users to backup their data to the cloud(using their own storage box, which services we support is TBD). As well being able to pull down the data from the cloud into the application is a priority, in addition to being able to locally import user data (such as an xml file containing logbook data).

Data Export options arrive to Time Vault! The first of 2 feature updates to focus on managing Log Books for external sources has been approved (and hot fixed!) and is now available to all of our users. Data Export allows users to store/transfer their Log Book data in a variety of formats (XML, CSV, HTML, Plain Text) through direct file sharing or e-mail. The Second update, which is targeted at the business users, will allow for Invoice generation, and is scheduled for submission by the end of the month.

A fix has been approved by Apple and available for users to update. This fix resolves the crash at start up preventing users from using the application. If anyone is still having issues please let us know.

We have discovered that there was an issue with the latest update. Please do not update to v1.1.0 until further notice. We are currently trying to get an expedited review from Apple as soon as possible. In the mean time we have removed Time Vault from the app store until the issue has been resolved.

Users that have already updated to v1.1.0 should be fine with the next update, but we recommend backing up your iPad data for now. The next update should not cause any data loss.

Last night our debt snowball calculator Agile Snowball: Debt Simplified for the iPad Lite Edition (Lets see how many more words we can add to the title!) was approved for distribution! It features all of the core debt snowball features from Agile Snowball with the same upgrade options found on the iPhone version. You can find it in iTunes here. Of course this release is FREE for everyone so now everyone with an iOS device can try out the calculator.
